Hi folks. 

   I have been doing some work on cleaning up and debugging the resize 
issue of fbcon. The first think I discovered where I never paid attention 
to before was that the number of columns and rows change you you run 
setfont. Isn't this wrong. The number of rows and columns should remain 
the same. Only the font size chaneg which causes a console resolution 
change.

I don't agree. As a user, if I change the font, I expect a row/col
change rather than a resolution change...

Note that the resolution change code doesn't work properly anyway,
not until we have proper code to look for a matching mode along with
monitor detection in drivers, which we don't have.
